It is a powerful way to share learning with parents and the multi-professional team... all with a device staff can keep in their pocket." Vijita Patel, Principal & National Leader of Education (NLE), Swiss Cottage School and Development & Research Centre, London, UK "Evidence for Learning has truly revolutionised how we capture everything from pupil evidence, assessment and data in one centralised package. The sheer flexibility of the product allows us to use it across the whole school from 7-19 with an array of needs. The ability to move from extremely personalised targets right the way through to more formal accreditations means it is truly a one-stop-shop for all our needs. We have seen significant impacts across the whole school from allowing greater efficiency for Senior Leaders to complete complex moderation and triangulation, engaging and communicating with parents through to lightening the workload for teachers allowing them to focus on the important aspects of their role."
